Bodie, CA is a ghost town (state park) located in the Basin Range, east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 13 miles East of U.S. Highway 395 in central California. Desolate country but well visited in the summer. Winter is another story with snow equipment necessary to get there (according to the descriptions I've read - I would not dream of trying it). It is an interesting place to wander. We would have loved to get inside some of the buildings but they are closed up to preserve them.
